Congratulations, you've been admitted!

Here are some important things to do as you consider attending Whitworth:

There is no better way to discover if Whitworth is the right place for you than to experience it for yourself. Incoming freshmen and transfers enrolling in fall 2019 who register for, and fully participate in, a qualified 2018-19 campus visit program are eligible to receive a one-time, $1,000 Visit Scholarship to cover tuition!

File your 2019-20 FAFSA. Filing your FAFSA ensures Whitworth will review all financial resources for which you may be eligible.

Connect with your admissions counselor. We're here to assist you at any point during the decision-making process, so find your counselor and get your questions answered. We want to help!

Save Your Spot

Paying your enrollment deposit is the next step to becoming a Whitworth student. The deposit guarantees your spot in the incoming class and also gives you the opportunity to register for housing. On-campus housing is assigned based on the order in which housing forms are received, and class registration is available to students based on the order in which they deposit. In other words, the sooner you deposit, the earlier you will be able to sign up for housing and class registration. The enrollment deposit may be submitted any time before May 1 for freshmen or Aug. 1 for transfer students.

Summer 2019

For students starting in fall 2019, you will register for fall classes via a phone appointment with a professor who will advise you through the registration process. Confirmed students will receive an email in mid-May providing a list of available appointment times to choose from. Registration appointments begin the last week of May and carry on through June.

To prepare for your registration appointment, please use the Fall 2018 Freshman Registration Guide as a resource. It will be a useful tool, so please read the document thoroughly before your phone appointment.

Planning a financial strategy can be one of the most stressful parts of going to college. How will you pay? Which paperwork is required? How does it all work? Here is what you can expect:

In early July, you will receive an email from student accounting services indicating that your estimated charges and financial aid for the coming semester can be viewed online in your Billing Form. This important email also contains the instructions you will need to complete your electronic Billing Form.

The Billing Form deadline is July 19.

If you choose a 5-month payment plan, payments will begin in August. If you would like to make payments on the 10th of each month, the form deadline is Aug. 5. If you would like to make payments on the 20th of each month, the form deadline is Aug. 15. We also have a payment plan beginning in September (three- or four-month).

If you decide to make a bulk payment instead of signing up for one of our monthly payment plans, payment is due Aug. 1.

Frequently asked questions:

Why do I have to complete a Billing Form? Can't I just send my payment?The Billing Form allows you to calculate your tuition and other charges to attend Whitworth as well as to submit other important information, including the following:

Do I have to complete a Billing Form every semester?Yes. Confirmation of registration/payment plans, etc. is required every semester.

Is health insurance required?We expect students to carry health insurance as required by U.S. law under the Affordable Care Act. In addition, Whitworth charges a health-and-wellness fee of $110 per semester that provides access to the on-campus student health center. Students are able to see healthcare professionals at the center and to access a variety of diagnostic services without paying a copay or other consultation fee. For healthcare needs beyond the scope of the center, students are referred to two clinics located within a mile of campus or to Holy Family Hospital, which is less than 5 miles from campus.

When is payment due?Payment or a payment-plan contract is due the same day the Billing Form is due. Generally, this due date falls at the end of the third week of July for fall semester and at the end of the first week of January for spring semester.

I will be due a refund after my financial aid all transmits. When will that be available?Refunds are available after you attend your first class of the semester, depending on when your financial aid transmits.

Can I have my refund sent directly to my bank?Yes. We offer direct deposit for refunds. Your Billing Form contains information on how to set that up.

I'm bringing a car to campus. Do I have to register it?Yes, you must register your vehicle and pay a car-registration fee. Failure to do so will result in citations and fines.

All submitted information in the above forms remains confidential. Please complete and submit the forms in their entirety along with any additional documents by Aug. 1, 2019.

Keeping the campus community healthy is a priority. Therefore, certain immunizations are required, according to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and the Spokane Regional Health District. Click here for more information about required immunizations.

In order to move into campus residence halls and attend classes, all incoming freshman and transfer students are required to complete the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) and meningococcal vaccination sections of the immunization form – or the associated declination forms.

If you have questions, please call the Whitworth Health Center at 509.777.3259.

The Whitworth Office of Alumni & Parent Relations, in cooperation with the Whitworth Office of Admissions, invites incoming students and their families to enjoy a summer reception hosted by current parents or parents of recent graduates.
